First, i am talking about this feature: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-find-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs?esab=a&s=search+address+bar&r=3&as=s

This awesome bar is not working properly. It used to remember everything i browsed, but now it doesn't remember if i didn't enter that site from the address bar.

For example i enter the youtube, watch a video. Later when i try to watch this video again, i wrote the title on the address bar but it doesn't show anything. When i write youtube it gets only youtube.com, not the video that i watched.

BUT, if i watch this video by copying the exact video link to the address bar, it remembers it when i later write its title.

I tried reseting firefox, didn't work. Please help, this feature was the reason i use firefox.

What is the current setting for the location bar?

You can check these prefs on the about:config page and possibly reset them via the right-click context menu to the default value:

  • browser.urlbar.autoFill
  • browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled
  • browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
